Ericsson Developer Suite is a single source for tools, APIs and support for integrating telecom capabilities into your applications.
The suite is a portfolio of tools including SDKs, APIs, code examples and documentation. Its functionality supports both client and server-side applications and includes APIs for communications services such as presence, chat, SMS send and receive, MMS, location and group management.

With Ericsson Developer Suite, you can use a phased approach to application development. The suite offers emulators which make it possible to build applications locally and without network connectivity and there are built-in tools for testing and de-bugging as well.

The flexibility of Ericsson Developer Suite means that it can be used by developers of all types - from long-tail developers to larger, full-sized companies.

Components
Ericsson Developer Suite includes several tools that are available for download (separately):

• IMS SDK (SDS) - emulators for IMS core and enablers, client-side support via JSR 281 API making it possible to run applications on non-IMS phones, and server-side support via JSR 116/289.

In future releases, the individual components will be more tightly integrated and you will have easier access to live test environment with real devices.

Currently the components of the Ericsson Developer Suite are available from the Eclipse Foundation. Using their software update mechanism, Pulsar, it is possible to install individual tools such as Software Development Studio (SDS).
